Hiya, question I was just thinknig about today... Were C210/C211's ever fuel injected? I thought they were, but come to think of it I don't think I've seen any pics...:

I have seen a few (very few) fuel injected C210's in Melbourne, but the vast majority were carb'd. If these were imported by Nissan for official sale it was late in the piece, probably just before the R30 was introduced in 1982.

In other markets the EFI C210 was sold well before that. The factory parts book for the C210 shows that EFI was used as early as 1978 in the English/European market, and its probable that the Japanese domestic market got at least the same.

In Australia the first Nissan model to get EFI 'officially' was the 280ZX in 1978. As far as I'm aware, the first Nissan model to get EFI was the 280Z in 1975, although that was a USA only vehicle.

  If so, when did they convert?

Lachlan, you disappoint me!

The C210 was available as a GT-Turbo with ECCS (digital) EFI, as well as the analogue system. One of the first EFI Nissans was the LY25 fitted to the 240Z in 1973, but that was experimental not production.

Here's a couple of C211's;

Hi Ben ( and Lachlan ),

If 'experimental' and 'race' applications count, then the LR24 was injected before the LY. The S20 was injected before both of them.

I would have thought that the GRX would have had a pretty good claim to being one of the first injected "Nissan" branded engines?

Hi Ben,

I haven't been lurking all that long, honest!

I'm just dipping my toe in the water here a little.......

Lachlan, did you get to the bottom of the original question? I think I must have the answer somewhere ( buried in a load of literature ) but its not all that easy to find it.....

Hi Alan - couldn't resist eh? Yes I think Ben hit it home saying that the C210 was available with both EFI and Carb from the word "go"... I had thought that... but I think I was writing that question too fast (yes, an off day Ben!!) - I was more interested in what happened in the Australian market - Steve said that he thinks it was only EFI nearing the release of the R30. I bought a C210 Service Manual from Ebay just for fun - perhaps it may give a bit more of a specific insight.

Thanks Steve, Ben, Alan for sharing knowledge. Very interesting.. Alan, you mentioned a FI S20 engine - what was that fitted in?

This forum sure does have some strange smilies...

:bananaman :microwave :whip:

I'm hoping Alan can elaborate, but if you can check the "works" GT-Rs around 1970-1971 I think you'll find some were fitted with injection. I have pics "somewhere safe"?! ...can't find 'em :)

Jim.

Great stuff Alan, thankyou. The second shot ...with chappy in engine bay, I notice what looks like a 4door PGC10 racer in background. Any chance the car being worked on is also a 4door? Just wondering if any reference with photo.

Cheers,

Jim.

hmm on the topic i believe in some markets that the C210 came out with an injected L18(E)

wanting to verify this as a while back i had an injection manifold setup i was going to put on my bluebird (L20b), never bothered cos apparently unless i was gonna do some extensive mods (which i wasn't) it would more likely hinder performance rather than gain, due to the smaller port size on the L18 (and in the runners of the manifold).

apparently unless i was gonna do some extensive mods (which i wasn't) it would more likely hinder performance rather than gain, due to the smaller port size on the L18 (and in the runners of the manifold).

I doubt that it would have hindered performance at all....

All you would have had to do is an extrude hone job on the manifold with the L18 head still attached.

L20b block with an L18 head is THE best combo for power due to the unique combustion chamber shape and size.

I had a L20b bored 60 thou with *mild* port job done on a L18 head...extractors and pissy little 40mm dellorto's and managed a high 14 in a datto 1600 with about 65kg's of sound system installed.....

You were told wrong.

oh yeah....i had dished pistons in that motor too, as i was going to supercharge it, but never got around to it....so it had shitty comp(exactly what it was i dont know)

Yeh i wasn't really sure what i was gonna do with it, was young and absent minded. I had one of those closed chamber (peanut shaped) A87 heads off some L18 SSS engine.

by extruded hone, you mean for the injectors? or the runners?

sorta wished i had done something with that now instead of selling it off. nice stroked L20 with injection and some form of forced induction. ah well i can't wait to drive the skyline again get that old L28 roaring!

quote : by extruded hone, you mean for the injectors? or the runners?

runners....the injectors would have been your only downfall i think, but L28et ones would probably have fit and been more than adequate for a mid-spec tune

also, yeah thats the head i was talking about...thats what i had

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
